Yeah, but you can carry a gun based just on your drivers license! NO mother may I please paper work. Makes the bad guys nervous. Now if the voters would just make the politicians nervous; instead of being mind-dumb sheep

I don't care for VT either. It's too liberal (even though I'm a Democrat).

I don't like lot-play in Ohio because you can't pick ALL of your own numbers, only 5 of them. I don't think anyone has even won it yet.

Whats wrong with NJ Lotto? I am no lover of the state of NJ; but their lottery is much better then I read about on the LP. Their Cash 5 has some pretty frequent payouts, with some decent amounts. Their Picks 6 is nothing to fight a cival war over, but it has paid out a ton of money. Their Pick 3 Pick 4 seems to be paying out a lot of money on a daily basis. They used to spend a lot of time in court (do a goggle search), but they have cleaned up their act and seem to have a four or five ye... [ More ]

That's because so much of the prize pool goes to smaller prizes. The overall odds of winning a prize are about 1 in 4.

Missouri's Showme 5...Computer drawn, 5/44 and top prize of $50,000 max.Our payouts for 3/5 and 4/5 pays fairly well though...3/5 can get you $25 and 4/5 can get you $750 if no one hits the top prize, if they do then the lower tier payouts drop considerably to $10 and $250.The game still siphons for air.

Seems to be a consensus that there are a number of blotteries around people believe are the worst.Which one it is appears to be dependent on where the person posting comes from.I'd say an open minded approach would leave North Carolina with the worst one at the moment. Nobody gets to play it because they're too busy trying to preemptively corrupt it on the one hand, or drop a nuke on it on the other.They ought to be able to put it in the running for top position if they ever get it running at a...

Sounds like the question should have been looking for a lottery with crediability. None mentioned seem to be someting to raise your children around - unless your goal for your children is corruption.

Yes, Indiana is hands down the worst lottery in the world. Visitors to our state should avoid playing any and all Hoosier Lottery games. (Unless of course you are visiting the state capital and you buy your tickets in Indianapolis. All the big winners come from Indianapolis/Marion County.) But if you do visit Indiana don't be afraid to buy Powerball tickets here. It's the one game they can't fix. And a little known interesting fact is that Indiana has had more Powerball winners than any ot... [ More ]

yeah, roadrunner does suck... it's a pc jr (or amiga) to powerball's big blue. it just isn't big enough jackpot wise for what looks like to my untrained eye a skeletonized powerball ripoff without powerball's multiple prize levels. i didn't know it was a computerized draw, though. i'd drop a dollar on it when powerball was in jackpot status. never know, right? not anymore. still, nm will never be indiana. indiana is king of 'worst lottery'. that email they sent one of the members here (ko...

This reminds me of something I saw on TV back around 1992. I live in DE and I was watching TV one evening around 7 pm when they flashed the winning number for PA on the screen. It was 000. However, when I checked the paper the next day the number was something totally different than that. Then the next night (or that same day that I checked the paper), the number drawn was 000. It was hard for me to believe that PA was taping the draws in advance. Never could understand that one as I often se... [ More ]

The worst lotto is my vote Texas because people rarely plays the Lotto Texas bonus game causing lots of rollovers. I would have picked CA because they have it computerized in all games except MM and CA SLP, but I stick my vote to Texas because I don't want to pick CA [where I live].

I like Rolling Cash5 better than Buckeye5 because I can wait till the prize is $400K+ and play more at one time rather than playing a little every day for a $100K prize. I think Lot'O Play will be replaced within the year with a Super Lotto type game which starts with a lower jackpot, possible $1M. I like the MegaMillions game, so overall I think Ohio lotteries are as good as most states.RJOh

MINNESOTA!!! MINNESOTA!!! MINNESOTA!!!! Total scandals including TWO past Lottery Commissioners committing suicide amongst such shady circumstances. Of course, any state that has computerized drawings basically is coming forth saying OUR STATE LOTTERY DRAWINGS ARE RIGGED ! Just my two cents!Good Luck,John

Ohio is the worst because of it's replacement of Super Lotto Plus with the idiotic Lot-O-Play, and replacement of Buckeye 5, (5 of 37), with Rolling Cash 5, (5 of 39).LottoVantage

You didn't mention NM Roadrunner.It's a comp drawing. The jackpots tend to be low, considering the buck for a ticket, and it just doesn't have much in the way of pizzazz. I think they'd do a lot better going with two tickets for a buck and a 5+1 with a matrix similar to KS, or with a 6/25, but with tickets at two for a buck.Just the view of one New Mexican who'd like to see it be a better game.Jack

I voted for NY because of the terrible payback in NY Lotto, and its annuity-only scratch games. The King Kong Millions game was drawn by computer.
